Benefits of technology

The present invention is about new compounds that can help regulate the levels of lipids and insulin in the body. These compounds are particularly good at activating a protein called PPAR. This patent is useful for those working in the field of drug development.

Problems solved by technology

However, the substantial side-effects limit the therapeutic potential of this approach.
The body continues to compensate by producing unphysiologically high levels of insulin, which ultimately decreases in later stage of disease, due to exhaustion and failure of pancreatic insulin-producing capacity.
These compounds, however, suffer from side effects, including rare but severe liver toxicity (as seen with troglitazone).
They also increase body weight in patients.
In addition, such compounds may also lower LDL cholesterol, decrease blood pressure and counteract inflammatory atherosclerosis.

Abstract

This invention relates to compounds of the formula wherein one of R6, R7 and R8 is and X, Y1 to Y4, R1 to R14 and n are as defined in the description, and to all enantiomers and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and / or esters thereof. The invention further relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, to a process for their preparation and to their use for the treatment and / or prevention of diseases which are modulated by PPARδ and / or PPARα agonists.

Description

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention is concerned with novel indolyl or dihydroindolyl derivatives of the formula wherein[0002]R1-9 are as described herein.[0003]It has been found that compounds of formula I are useful as lipid modulators and insulin sensitizers. In particular, compounds of formula I are PPAR activators.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0004]Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptors (PPARs) are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. The PPARs are ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate gene expression and control multiple metabolic pathways. Three subtypes have been described which are PPARα, PPARδ (also known as PPARβ), and PPARγ. PPARδ is ubiquitously expressed. PPARα is predominantly expressed in the liver, kidney and heart. There are at least two major isoforms of PPARγ. PPARγ1 is expressed in most tissues, and the longer isoform, PPARγ2 is almost exclusively expressed in adipose tissue. The PPARs modulate a variety of physi...
